New Series of 7 articles on the History of Chinese inventions and discoveries. It appears the West has a serious case of China amnesia; documented evidence that China conceived of ideas and inventions as disparate as 'Pascal's Triangle', the steam engine, Newton's laws of motion, and very much more, centuries and even millennia before they occurred in the West. Thousands of items from immunisation to navigation were copied from China during the past 500 years, permitting the West to advance. The History of Chinese Invention 60% of Our Knowledge Originated in China Editorial by 龙信明

New Series of 30+ Articles on the Government Systems of China and the West, Democracy, Voting, and much more. In-Depth Comparisons and Explanations of Advantages and Flaws of the Systems. Democracy: To Be or Not To Be? Introduction and Index Editorial by 龙信明
